Added a Blur tool to the Layer Property. Blur is much easier to use now that it doesn't have to be set up via the Filter dialog anymore.

Added a Contrast setting to Change Color. It is now easier to put emphasis on things by adjusting their light/dark setting.

Added 3 new connection points to the head in the character’s Change Parts (up to a total of 5 points, from the original 2). You can now attach more items or parts to the character's head.

On Edition UI, the following menu now can be examined using the mouse wheel:

Number entry fields in Layer Property

Size adjustment to the Layer Handle on edit screen, for better control.

Moving layers with the keyboard is now much quicker. Fixed a bug that caused much slower movement when adjusting a large number of layers with the keyboard at once.

Added a Duplicate Page function to the page list and page menu, to make it easier to copy pages.

Added Vertical and Horizontal options to the Centering settings in Numerical Settings.

ComiPo! is a revolutionary new software application that allows anyone to make high quality comics and manga. Users can easily create their own unique stories and situations simply by choosing and posing one of the 3D characters included with ComiPo! The program also offers over 100 unique body poses and facial expressions to choose from, along with many background images, items, sound effects, word balloons... Everything needed to make a visually impressive and professional looking comic come to life.

Changing Camera AnglesThe character model is 3D data, so you can pose the character from any angle just by dragging the red circle.

Background ImagesYou can import data, such as a picture you took with a camera, and then use it as a background image.

BalloonsYou can choose from many different kinds of word balloons and thought balloons.

I do recommend this software because it is a gold mine of possibilities and it really helped me for things like perspective and poses for character. BUT, you must be able to use at least another software like Photoshop or Gimp to complete this one. As some people said : it is limited even with all of their features and DLC for the choice of clothes, type of characters and objects, but you can import a lot of thing such as 2D images, 3D objects and with an image editor on the side, it is the most useful program I used for manga creation. So if you are ready to work and know a thing or two about image edition, this is a wonderful software for you.

This software allowed you to create your own Manga with pre-made Characters,Items and backgrounds Which make this software easy to understand without any basic skills of drawing. I liked to draw manga and characters in paper but drawing in my laptop seems impossible sinceI don't have mouse-pen or even good software to draw on.Comipo fix that desired and now I can created my own story from paper to software (with a limited sources material ofcourse )

Despite what some negative reviews have said, it actually is possible to have two characters overlap each other, it just takes a bit of figuring out: specifically, you have to use the barriers of the boxes to "cut off" the body part you want to appear over the other character, then use copy and paste and move the character to the exact other side of the box so that only the arm, leg, head whatever is visible, and line it up with the rest of the body. That's the real tricky part: lining up the figures so that (for example) an arm is where it should be requires so much precision that it's basically trial and error. Extremely difficult, but (theoretically) possible.

Having said that, I would highly recommend ONLY buying this program on SALE. I managed to get the program and three DLC for roughly 20 dollars total, and I still feel like I overpaid. But I suppose that's all the more reason to make the most of it.
